First look: Sandra Bullock gets her crew together for Ocean's 8

The spinoff to Ocean's 11 named Ocean's 8 has a release date, an awesome all-female cast and a brand new image out this week. Directed by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games), this new film will follow in the grand tradition of the previous films with 'the heist of the century' set in New York City.

Movie of the Month

With Ben Affleck recast as the older and grimmer Batman and Jared Leto stepping into Heath Ledger's shoes as the Joker, there's been a lot of chatter about the upcoming Justice League and rebooting of the DC heroes. However, nothing beats the awe and thrill of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. After introducing us to his Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, the stakes were sharply raised in the revisionistic sequel with a crazed super villain in the Joker. Nolan's trilogy led the superhero craze. Every film since then has tried to be just like it and I'm afraid none will ever come close. I watched The Dark Knight again after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and it still holds the same power it had upon the release. Yes, the technology might be woefully outdated, but the story and characters, they're all there and that's what matters in the end. No amount of VFX battles can bring that back.
